Windows 7 and ant exec task
I'm using Windows 7. When I use the ant exec task, I get
Cannot run program "zzz": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find
the file specified.
When I run the program "zzz" from the command line, it works fine. The
folder that program "zzz" is in is in my path env variable.
Ant version 1.7.1
Java version 1.6.
Has anyone experienced this problem? I did several google searches and
found nothing.
This works fine in XP and Windows Server 2003.
Thanks.

RE: Windows 7 and ant exec task
Posted by Alec Fernandez <Al...@sas.com>.
Something else to consider is if the file is in one of the areas that´s protected by UAC (like Program Files) it may not be where you think it is. It might be in your windows virtual store... so java looks for it in Program Files/mysoftware but does not find it there because in reality it resides in \Users\myuserid\AppData\Local\Virtualstore\Program Files\mysoftware...
You might try logging in as a different user and seeing where the file truly resides.

The .bat file works fine on Server 2003 and XP. It doesn't work on Windows 7.
Thanks,

Zzz is a .bat file. If I specify the full path of zzz, it executes
fine.
I'd rather not use the full path. The path to the executable will be
different on the dev workstations and the build/ci server.
Thanks,
Greg
